Harirchi, has tested positive for the virus himself, authorities announced Tuesday.

That’s horrible! Don’t put a comma between the subject and the verb. Sheesh!

Tombstone masons in authoritarian regimes really should offer “Died of Irony” epitaphs for their customers.

Well, I was referring to minimize and deny, but catch it and die works too. He is not a smoker, though, so not at nearly the risk.

“Take 50 units of Bravado HCL and call me in the morning, because believe me, you’re going to need something that’s actually effective by then.”

My first thought was a scene from a movie (Lifeforce, I think?) where a sweaty government official is assuring everyone this whole vampire thing is under control, while grabbing someone to go backstage and eat.

Rush is dying from cancer last I read. Probably a more painful death than from Covid19

If he was at the press briefing visibly sweating and coughing wouldn’t that mean he’s been infecting people for a few days?
